Media Reviews

"With Glamorama, Ellis has found a way to package his trademark flat affect, gratuitous violence, drug use and decadent sex in a comic and frightening story with differentiated characters and a plotline that arcs and undulates as in an authentic novel, leaving a most pleasing exploitative taint in its wake..., the pleasures of a celebrity-worshipping narrative overlaying a violent, chilling and...instructive plot are too great to ignore, as are the discreet charms of a fatuous hero..."

First Line

"Specks--specks all over the third panel, see?--no, that one--the second one up from the floor and I wanted to point this out to someone yesterday but a photo shoot intervened and Yaki Nakamari or whatever the hell the designer's name is--a master craftsman NOT--mistook me for someone else so I couldn't register the complaint, but, gentlemen--and ladies--there they are: SPECKS, annoying, tiny specks, and they don't look accidental but like they were somehow done by a machine--so I don't want a lot of description, just the story, streamlined, no frills, the lowdown: who, what, where, when and don't leave out why, though I'm getting the distinct impression by the looks on your sorry faces that WHY won't get answered--now, come on, goddamnit, what's the story?"
